The best thing about SAP BusinessObjects Lumira tool is that it is very easy to use. It's self service BI capabilities are just awesome. To my experience, I just learned the entire tool within few days and that is what makes it different from any other similar products available in the market.

What do you dislike?

The only thing which i did not like about SAP BusinessObjects Lumira tool is the limitations related to standard graph and charts available. Some times we need to take technical help to implement custom graphs and chart. This should be improved and functional users can drag and drop charts or plug in to use new charts and graphs.

Recommendations to others considering the product

I would like to recommend the usage of SAP Lumira to my managers so that he could see the at a glance the information he needs to see when starting a day. It could be very useful to him since the data is already processed and ready to consumed. He can focused more on the other task he needs to accomplish. It could also save him time in decision making.

It could also be recommended to the finance department since they deal heavily with a lot of numbers. It could be useful if the budget, expenses and the income of the company are being presented in a way that everybody would understand.

It can provide real-time knowledge in a very easy-to-consumed formats such as graphs, probabilities and etc. It is very useful to the Decision Makers of the company. It can also see the data that are not consistent with the others,

What do you like best?

This is a great program to do initial visualization and analysis. Its simple enough that almost anyone can use it but able to tease out some of the more detailed complexities of a dataset. It should cover all but the most complicated business scenarios and it has the advantage of close integration with SAP data sources. Certainly worth a look by anyone considering a new visualization option.

What do you dislike?

Seems a bit limited in some of the options available. I'd like to see more geographic options. It also is a bit slow on my machine which is surprising considering that it is an i7 with 24GB memory and running off an SSD. It was running under a VM emulation but that should only impact it some 5% at most. However, other similar products are a bit slow as well.

Recommendations to others considering the product

This is a good start for self-service analytics. It does seem to require a lot of memory, so run it on a system with at least 8GB or 16GB would be better.

Recommendations to others considering the product

#1 choice for SAP & SAP BusinessObjects customers. If you already have invested in Universes, Data Warehouse, BW, etc. then save yourself time and headache, and potential data governance nightmare from choosing any other DV vendor.

For net new customers, be sure to evaluate the full breadth of your requirements, not just DV, but also Data Governance, Metadata management, data quality & integration.

80% of a typical analytics project is spent on Data Integration, and that is where SAP is continuing to invest, and already has market leading ETL, Data Quality & Management.

In addition, as part of the SAP BI Edge bundle, Lumira is extremley price competitive and better bang for the buck than other DV vendors, especially if you require Data Integration, management, reporting, etc. All of this is included in BI Edge.
